The DOM.RF competition for the best standard projects of individual housing development has started in Russia

1 July, 2021

Today, TASS inform agency hosted a press conference dedicated to the start of the All-Russian open competition for the development of standard designs for individual and low-rise buildings and socio-cultural facilities. 

The competition was launched by DOM.RF and is held on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation with the support of the Ministry of Construction of Russia and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.

The operator of the competition was a consortium led by the International Urban Laboratory CENTER Lab, with the participation of the Agency for Strategic Development CENTER and Buromoscow.

This is another step towards improving the quality of life in the country through the development of a segment of private housing that is accessible to citizens and profitable for business.

The objective of the competition is to form an open library of standard projects for individual residential buildings. According to the terms of the competition, before July 20, participants must upload materials on the website woodenbuildings.ru.

It is important that this library includes projects with a clear economy, so that all participants can understand: how much does the implementation of this project cost, where the objects will be sold, what is the cost of maintenance. Together with DOM.RF, we attract, in addition to architects and designers, manufacturers to participate in the competition, so that the final projects are feasible in terms of existing technologies.

At the second stage, the jury will select 120 finalists who will develop conceptual bids based on the Standard for the Integrated Development of Territories. 

In September 2021, 40 winning projects will be selected, the authors of which, at the expense of the organizers, will develop design estimates for the land plots of DOM.RF.

By the end of 2021, the documentation will undergo an examination in order to enter the register of cost-effective design documentation for reuse of the Ministry of Construction of Russia in 2022.

We see many examples of the emergence of truly talented and relevant projects through open competitions. With their help, both experienced and young companies have the opportunity to prove themselves in solving complex architectural and planning solutions, to increase their competencies by working in consortia. It is very important that the competition is of practical importance, so that citizens, regions and municipalities have the opportunity to use high-quality and effective projects of houses and social facilities for the development of the IHS segment.

The competition will be held in 3 stages - qualification selection based on portfolio and essays, development of projects by participants and development of design estimates, passing state examination based on the winning projects of the competition. Development of design and estimate documentation will be carried out on the land plots of DOM.RF.
